Former Providence College guard MarShon Brooks, who was drafted by the Celtics in 2011 and then shipped to the Nets, will likely replace Reggie Evans in the trade that is sending Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry to Brooklyn on July 10.

He was technically a member of the Celtics for only a brief time on the night of June 23, 2011.

MarShon Brooks of Providence College was taken at No. 25 in the NBA Draft, but in a prearranged deal, he was sent to the former New Jersey Nets with the Celtics getting JaJuan Johnson at No. 27 and a 2014 second-round pick.

Brooks and Johnson swapped teams not long after their names were called, so the former Friars guard never made it back to New England.

Two years later, though, it appears that Brooks is going to be joining the Celtics after all.

According to various reports, Brooks is now being included in the blockbuster trade that has the Brooklyn Nets shipping five players and three first-round draft picks to the Celtics for Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry.

The trade will not be made official until July 10 due to salary-cap restrictions.

Brooks is reportedly replacing forward Reggie Evans in the deal and will be coming to the Celtics along with Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, former Celtics second-round pick Kris Joseph and Keith Bogans (through a sign-and-trade move).

The Big East Conference leader in scoring as a senior, Brooks started 47 games as a rookie in 2011-12, averaging 12.6 points in 29 minutes. This past season, his minutes dropped significantly to 12.5 per game and Brooks scored just 5.4 points.

The Celtics will be looking for all the scoring they can get and Brooks is likely to get an opportunity to produce.

Wallace, who has three years left on a contract worth $30 million, will be joining his fifth team. He has averaged 12.9 points in 742 games but scored just 7.7 points last season, Wallace’s lowest output since the 2003-04 season in Sacramento.

Humphries, who became famous for marrying and divorcing Kim Kardashian, has played for four teams, averaging 6.6 points and 5.5 rebounds in 558 games. After posting numbers of 13.8 points and 11 rebounds in 2011-12, he managed only 5.8 points and 5.6 rebounds last season.

There is speculation that the Celtics will be trading Humphries, who has one year left on a contract worth $12 million. Humphries had an altercation with Rajon Rondo last season.

Joseph was drafted No. 51 out of Syracuse in 2012 by the Celtics, played six games, spent some time with the Maine Red Claws of the NBA Development League and was released on Jan. 6. The Nets signed him to a 10-day contract in April and he eventually stayed for the rest of the season, appearing in four games.

Bogans, a free agent on July 1, is a shooting guard who has played for seven teams since joining the NBA in 2003. He has averaged 6.4 points on 39 percent shooting in 665 games.

The Celtics will face the Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers and Houston Rockets plus one other team on the final day, July 12.

The roster is expected to include the two players drafted on Thursday night – Gonzaga’s Kelly Olynyk and Colorado State’s Colton Iverson. They may be in Boston on Monday for an introductory press conference.

Missouri guard Phil Pressey, who lived in the area when his father, former NBA player Paul Pressey, was a Celtics assistant coach, will join them after signing as a free agent along with 2012 first-round draft pick Fab Melo, Notre Dame’s Tim Ambromaitis and Darius Johnson-Odom of Marquette.
